Miranda Hart has confirmed that her sitcom hit Miranda will return to BBC for a special episode.

The one-hour special will see cast favourites reunite to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the show.

It is not known whether every cast member will return for the show that was last season on New Year's Day in 2015.

Taking to Twitter Torquay-born Miranda said: "Hello to you – I am with news. So, in November it will be 10 years since the first episode of Miranda aired. We are 10! And we have decided to have a party.

"The Miranda cast on and off screen are all about play, being free to be ourselves and silliness, so we are amazed and delighted that BBC One have agreed that our celebrations will be recorded as a one-hour special later in the year.

"I will keep you posted but I suspect there might just be some special guests, probably the odd bit of dancing, definitely some drinks and nibbles.

"You know what I hope it will be – SUCH FUN for us, but more importantly for you all you lovely friends of the show for whom I shall be forever grateful for your support. See you soon."

The show was a huge hit during its run and in addition to Miranda it featured the likes of Tom Ellis playing love interest Gary, Patricia Hodge playing mum Penny, Sarah Hadland playing best friend Stevie and Sally Phillips as another friend Tilly.

The show was first shown in November 2009 and ran for three seasons and also had two specials.
